Online session options
Approaches and how online sessions work
Francisco commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, identifying patterns and trying new perspectives that reduce shame or stuckness. He also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, acceptance, and following the client's lead to find what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when helpful to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety and mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Francisco collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what feels realistic for daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or times when written reflection feels easier. These options help people maintain consistent care while juggling work, family, or travel.
